Craven, Timothy C. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1980
Proposes that error rates in indexing using string index languages such as NEPHIS might be reduced at relatively low cost by having the indexer enter strings via a microcomputer system which could provide simple validation and feedback in the form of graphic displays of concept links. (Author/FM)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Automatic Indexing, Computer Graphics, Microcomputers
Videodisc/Videotext, 1982
The Video PATSEARCH system consists of a microcomputer with a special keyboard and two display screens which accesses the PATSEARCH database of United States government patents on the Bibliographic Retrieval Services (BRS) search system. The microcomputer retrieves text from BRS and matching graphics from an analog optical videodisc. (Author/JJD)

Binder, Carl – Performance Improvement Quarterly, 1989
Presents a conceptual overview of online information systems, emphasizing the distinction between hypertext (associative) and more traditional (search) models of information management. Five commercially available hypertext systems are reviewed, hypertext design issues are discussed, and the application of structured writing techniques to…

Persson, Olle – Database, 1986
This article illustrates how Lotus 1-2-3 software can be used to create graphs using downloaded online searches as raw material, notes most commands applied, and outlines three required steps: downloading, importing the downloading file into the worksheet, and making graphs. An example in bibliometrics and sample graphs are included. (EJS)

Lucchetti, Stephen C. – Online, 1984
Summarizes types of machine access available for users of Chemical Abstracts Online, a database which can accept and print out graphics images of chemical compounds. The use of Tektronix terminals, capabilities and limitations of other types of graphic termials and microcomputers, and estimated costs are noted. (EJS)

Levy, Louise R. – Online, 1984
Discusses major features and capabilities of gateway software--microcomputer software packages that act as interfaces between users and bibliographic retrieval systems they are searching--i.e., communication, interface, auxiliary programs. Four programs (In-Search, Universal Online Searcher, Search Helper, microDisclosure) are reviewed and…

Miller, Philip; Aquino, Ivan – Electronic Learning, 1983
Describes use of the videocassette recorder (VCR) in art education to show single or moving abstract images for their own artistic worth. Use of the VCR with a microcomputer, use of the VCR alone, and suggested activities are included. (EJS)
Descriptors: Art, Art Education, Computer Graphics, Display Systems

Percival, J. Mark – Online Review, 1990
Discusses the growing importance of the use of Graphic User Interfaces (GUIs) with microcomputers and online services. Highlights include the development of graphics interfacing with microcomputers; CD-ROM databases; an evaluation of HyperCard as a potential interface to electronic mail and online commercial databases; and future possibilities.…

Vertelney, Harry; Grossberger, Lucia – Educational Computer, 1983
Introduces educators to possibilities of computer graphics using an inexpensive computer system which takes advantage of existing equipment (35mm camera, super 8 movie camera, VHS video cassette recorder). The concept of the "art machine" is explained, highlighting input and output devices (X-Y plotter, graphic tablets, video…

Hartmann, Thom – Popular Computing, 1984
Describes systems which use wireless terminals to communicate with mainframe computers or minicomputers via radio band, discusses their limitations, and gives examples of networks using such systems. The use of communications satellites to increase their range and the possibility of using light beams to transmit data are also discussed. (MBR)

Absher, Linda – 1997
For many librarians and information specialists, the World Wide Web presents a challenge, not only in terms of organizing information, but in creating a visual package that piques the user's curiosity and interest as well as provides orientation to a site. Creating original graphics gives a Web site a unique identity, and forces the designer to…
